Power Is Boring

Believe me, if I were dictator, you know what I'd do?

Come to think of it, there's a problem there

For aspiring tyrants like me and you

Ever wonder what it'd really be like

To be your own dictator?

Might be its own kind of prison

Of total fear

Can't make love or go anywhere

Without bodyguards in your hair

Never know which trusted friend

Has plans to blow you away

3,000 pairs of shoes

No one to talk to

'Nuff guns to kill everyone you own

The masses act so loyal, yet you can't sleep in the same place twice

I wouldn't want to be a Noriega or Khadafi, would you?

Power is boring

Power is boring

Power is boring

And ya know, I wonder how

The downtown crowd can stand themselves

Look sharp, play to win

Through intimidation

That person at the next desk

Ain't your friend, he's your competitor

The only way to get promoted first is to get him first, or else!

Hi ho, whaddaya know?

They all got the same plan for you

Where do these people go

Between their daily meals of work?

Too burnt and stressed to even think of how to spend the money

No one else to show it to but people just like me, AGH!

Power is boring

Power is boring

Power is boring

Power is boring

Hot damn, we're the headliners at last

Gonna show this scene a thing or two, play games and help our friends

Now the phone rings all the time, it's all your fault

You've been crowned king of what you used to warn us about

Why play that game at all?

The people who want the power that bad

Are missing something in their lives

Being scared of my friends in a junta, scene or business world

Is the most miserable existence I could think of on Earth!

Power is boring

Power is boring

Power is boring

Power is boring!
